Microsoft How-Old 2015.519.819.5069
Since there are numerous photo sharing services out there, it is very easy to send out the pics to anyone, but now there is an innovative tool that can make things even more fun.
Called Microsoft How-Old, this Windows Phone app relies on a different kind of service, more specifically it offers an estimation of someone's age based on facial recognition using as input a photo loaded by the user.
Tidy appearance for effortless use
The looks of this utility are pretty nicely drawn, with a friendly GUI, where the smooth graphics and inspired colors are complemented by an efficient interface.
The functions are all close at hand, easy to reach and put to good use, so operating Microsoft How-Old is definitely a breeze. The workspace has a decent size, so you can check out the image previews pretty comfortably.
Moving around the few sections of the app and swiping through the preloaded image samples is fluent and without any delays or other glitches of some sort.
Load saved images or take snapshots for evaluation
The application is able to use any of the images you have stored on your mobile device, on an attached SD card and even in the cloud storage accounts, as Dropbox and OneDrive are supported.
In case you want to try a fresh capture, Microsoft How-Old is ready to help you take a photo on the spot and have it processed automatically.
Quick processing and useful sharing options
The actual operation is pretty quick and in a couple of seconds you will see the age labels corresponding to every person in the image, as long as the utility is able to detect their face.
Nonetheless there are some instances in which the app will fail to identify the actual people in some images, especially if the persons are farther away.
The group pictures should be taken as close as possible and if the images are clear, you will receive a pretty accurate estimation for the age of the persons in those photos.
With Microsoft How-Old you have the possibility to send out the processed images, with the age labels attached via an email message, using the WeChat app or through the Weibo online platform.
